Clevite 77 engine bearings [Merged 3-8]

[JUANPSI]

I have a set of mitsus and a set of clevites. I guess I will order a set of acls and compare them.

For what it's worth David Buschur prefers OEM bushings.

 

[1fast97gsx]

yea you already said that a few posts up

I have tried oem, federal mogul and now clevite. I don't think any of them are "bad" and there won't be problem with any set you buy unless of course your clearances are way out of whack.

say ur car stock most people get 200,000miles without OEM bearings going out and many with good bit of power....for the price and availability...id just stick with OEM unless ur making ridiculous amnts of power....also tolerances thats the biggy Machine shops suck

Thanks David, we'd be lost without your guidance.

Clevites flat out suck( first hand), mitsus are OK but the best are King Bearings

I have a late 98 block that I want to replace the rod, main, and thrust bearing (should come with the main kit) and I am having a hard time finding the right part # for a 98-99. It has the new style crank setup with the 3 piece thrust bearing. Please help if you can thanks jake

I need a part # for the 98-99 block. It is different then the 95-97. That is what I am having a problem with. Let me know if anyone has the part #'s Thanks

I was gonna ask the same thing, did you consider just stock mitsu parts? Since they redesigned it, its probably best to go with oem on this one, i know i would

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

What is the part number for Clevite 6bolt race bearings? I got some and I want to make sure they are the right part number...because the are not the right size.
Thx

 

[iwantawd]

slowboyracing has all that and you never said if they are rod or main bearings.

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

Rod and main...I looked on slowboy but they have both on there and ont say which is which.

 

[iwantawd]

i checked and the first number (2076p) under mains is the same number for the standard size mains in my set of king bearings. i would just email clevite though or check their website.

what are the part numbers for yours?

 

[diambo4life]

Clevite 77 bearings for a 6-bolt standard size have this number on the box:

CB-1120 P

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

Got them. Thx

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Rods - CB1120P
Main - MS2076P

 

[Suparata]

Good luck finding the Rods - CB1120P. If you do let me know but I think you will get the AL instead. Clevite changed to a so called all-aluminum bearings for the rods. I wonder why. They did not think it is worth to make high performance bearings for Mitsubishi and, since the all-aluminum bearings like the OE perform great, they changed to that type of bearing.

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

Yeah i got some of the rod bearings. They look like standard clevites to me. I do order them straight from clevite's distributer though.

 

[Suparata]

What was the part no on the rod bearings?

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

1120P Unless maybe they just had some leftovers or something.

 

[Suparata]

Those guys do not sell too many of those if they still had in stock the P ones. Clevite stopped making them more than a year ago.

 

[Hammer_Gaidin]

Well, i work at a GM performance shop. So usually we buy GM stuff from them.
